The Charleston NelOs and Courier,
rabid free trade paper, deyotes
nearly column in the attempt to
prove that the people of the United
States are compelled to pay S15,00O,-
900 year more for theirhosiery, be-
cause of the tariff. Thebest answer
to this farago of nonsense is, that
hosiery is from 40 Il 60 per cent
cheaper now than it was before a
tariff enabled America manufactur-
ers to make hosiery d home. The
argument of the NeeG and Courier
reminds one of the speech made by a
distinguished Democratic free trader
who conclusiYely showed by his ar
gument that the tariff on cotton goods
increased the prize 6 cents per pard,
and then turning to one of the au-
d1ence to emphasize the point he said:
$50 you see, my friend, that this
Republican tariff made you pay Is
cents more for the goods out of which
your shirt is made" The man adj
dressed answered, 81 don't see how
that can be, Senator; l only paid 10
cents for the goods, and when | was
young man it used to cost me 36
